Abstract(in English) The crowdedness information in various places in the city such as public transportation, facilities, and restaurants is one of the high-demand information for general people. However, it is difficult for users to acquire comprehensive data because existing services of crowdedness measurement separately collect and provide data in different ways. This study aims to establish the universal method of crowdedness estimation which is robust to various environments, by scanning BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) signals emitted from mobile devices owned by general people. In this paper, we focused on public facilities and restaurants, and built crowdedness estimation models. As the result, we confirmed models trained with the same feature set for each space show certain performance.
